Quote: trent "I only caught the last 20 minutes of the game but judging by the blow out scoreline we are still some way off catching the Aussie schoolboys up
Am i correct in thinking that the Aussie schoolboys are also a younger group than the one we sent over to play them?'"
No, same age group Under 18's. The Academy team look talented but very raw so I am sure they will learn a hell of a lot out of this tour.
Australia are a better quality team but England were just as good until the halfback went off with an ACL and then quickly lost prop Caine Barnes.
If the reverse happened and Australia lost Sean O'Sullivan and Payne Haas, who knows what would have happened.
